At the beginning of the school year, students and teachers recover the way to school in a context of budgetary uncertainty suspended from the probable overthrow of the government of François Bayrou. Although teachers are particularly concerned about the measures defended by the Prime Minister, and in particular for the freezing of their remuneration, the Ministry of National Education recently published a note of analysis of the evolution of the average net salary by the body of teachers.
Thus, in 2023, on average, all teachers combined, the teachers obtained 2,920 euros net per month. An average that masks the sensitive disparities from one teaching staff to another. School teachers are, as expected, the least paid, with an average monthly remuneration of 2,680 euros. Then follow the certified, physical and sports teachers (EP) and vocational secondary school with 2,970 euros, 3,000 euros and 3,190 euros net per month, respectively. Very ahead, the aggregate and upper chair teachers won an average of 3,930 euros net per month.
Bonuses that vary from one teaching staff to another
To explain these differences in remuneration, the Ministry’s note emphasizes that school teachers are perceived less frequently of remuneration supplements, such as overtime bonds, compared to their secondary colleagues.
In fact, the participation of the premiums represents only 12.6% of the gross salary paid to first -degree teachers against 18.3% of the second -degree teachers. For example, school teachers received only 420 euros in bonds per month and respectively between 650 and 670 euros for certified teachers and EPS.
Slight salary increase of 1.6% on average for a year in constant euros
“In 2023, for the teachers paid in 2022 and still present in 2023, the increase in the index point and the revaluation of several premiums (in particular the monitoring subsidies of the students and the attractive cousin) allowed an increase in the average salary of 1.6% in constant euros,” the Ministry report details. After an increase in the index point of 3.5% in July 2022, it increased again, but less strongly, to +1.5% on July 1, 2023.
Finally, unlike private employees, teachers are likely to see their remuneration falls from one year to another. If this may be linked to a reduction in working time, the loss of a premium that, for example, was linked to a lead role that was occupied the previous year and no longer has an impact on total remuneration.
Therefore, second -degree teachers are more numerous than first degree to suffer reductions in remuneration, of the order of 1 to 5%, even beyond 5%. For example, on average, between 2022 and 2023, 20% of certified and EPS teachers underwent a loss of salary from 1 to 5%, 12% saw their remuneration fall by more than 5%. High school teachers have 21% of having seen their salary fall by 1 to 5%, and 12% to suffer a loss of more than 5%. As for school teachers in the first degree, 17% have seen their remuneration fall from 1 to 5% and 8% to have suffered a loss beyond 5%.
